House with Chimaeras, also known as Horodecki House, is an Art Nouveau building in Kyiv, Ukraine, designed by architect Vladislav Horodecki. Constructed between 1901 and 1902, it is renowned for its elaborate and fantastical animal sculptures, including chimeras, which adorn the exterior. These sculptures were created by Italian architect Emilio Sala. Initially intended as a luxury apartment building, it now serves as a government building used for official receptions and ceremonies.
